[exim] Problem with exim 4.94 and transport using $local_par…

(Sorry for having to resubscribe — my normal subscription has a suffix in my email address local part and I am currently broken and cannot get the email from the exim users list to my normal recipient email due to the problem I need advice and help with)

I recently upgraded my exim from an earlier version to 4.94, and had to upgrade the $local_part to $local_part_data in my transports for certain deliveries to work (like alias file lookup based on domain name).

My problem is that I have a transport that copies an email into a maildir subfolder for the user when the local part contains a suffix. I was using:

driver

ldaplocal_suffix:
driver = accept
condition = ${if eq {}{${lookup ldap {user=\”—— user info -----\" pass=XXXXXXX ldap://my.ldap.host:389/accountName=$local_part,domain=$domain,dc=XXXX,dc=YYY}}}{no}{yes}}
local_part_suffix = +*
retry_use_local_part
transport = ldap_virtual_appendfile_suffix



transport:

ldap_virtual_appendfile_suffix:
driver = appendfile
directory = ${lookup ldap {user="—— user info -----" pass=XXXXXXX ldap://my.ldap.host:389/accountName=${local_part},domain=${domain},dc=XXXX,dc=YYY?mailboxLoc?base?}{$value}fail}/.${substr_1_1000:${local_part_suffix}}
group = mailgroup
maildir_format
user = mailuser



The version of this above that does not look for local parts suffixes and just delivers to the local part (without the “/.${substr_1_1000:${local_part_suffix}}” at the end works fine.


With the need for $local_part to be done with $local_part_data, I am not sure how to pick up whatever local part suffix was picked up by the router… I’ve been reading through the exim documentation but don’t see how to do this.
